BNP Standing Committee member Dr. Abdul Moin Khan has said the message of the July Uprising will be lost unless it is aligned with the spirit of democracy.

Speaking at a seminar at the National Press Club, he remarked, "The uprising ended 15 years of autocratic rule and created a new opportunity for democracy in Bangladesh — but we’ve yet to fully seize it." He stressed that free and fair elections are the cornerstone of democracy and urged for measured, strategic change rather than hasty political shifts.
